Donald Trump has piled pressure on his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, before talks in Washington on Monday, saying the leader could end the war “almost immediately” if he wanted to.
The president’s comments were posted on his Truth Social platform on Sunday night, hours before he was due to meet Zelenskyy and the leaders of Britain, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the EU and Nato at the Oval Office.
After his meeting with the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, on Friday, Trump also ruled out Ukraine joining Nato or recovering Russian-occupied Crimea. He posted on Sunday: “President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and no going into Nato by Ukraine. Some things never change"
